i don't consider any of the music i like to be a guilty pleasure. however i can be a sucker for chuggy, generic metalcore with endless breakdowns and catchy pop songs (Call Me Maybe hnnnng). i also love dumb ignorant hip hop with a good beat.

Is synthwave kind of like retrosynth? Like Dance with the Dead or Lazerhawk or the Hotline Miami soundtrack? That throwback 80s stuff?

That's my shit, if that counts as a guilty pleasure. And I think it kinda does because it's just like sound porn. It's not going to define your life or challenge you like really good music will.

But otherwise yeah, I've always loved electronic music with strong melodies. Video game music basically is that. I'm also into hard rock, but that's mostly dead at this point. I'm also strangely into 90s style gangster rap, but primarily because they tend have good beats.
